My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I keep one of those in my trunk in case someone doesn't think my E60 is cool enough. 
I have to agree with this 100%. It's like when we tell our wives that this smoking hot blonde who just walked by is really not that pretty...

The author of that article is probably a Vauxhall driving nobody with an inferiority complex, nobody here goes on about people driving kia's and how cheap they are. Shows the level of intelligence of some people who do not earn enough to buy a BMW.

Rubbish. What gets up peoples noses is that bmw drivers think that their cars are cool, aggressive, confident? and sophisticated and that the BMW is the only car that is and therefore everyone else is envious.
You don't know what "cool" means. BMWs are absolutely 100% not cool. You can't go up to a girl and say "Hi, I drive a BMW". They are just not a cool car to own. a FIAT 500 (old model) is a cool car. An SL350 Gullwing is a cool car. A 5 series BMW driven by fat bankers is about an uncool as you can get I'm afraid.
That said they are fantastic cars and I really like them, but lets not go nuts.
As for aggressive, they are. There are better but I would agree, but I dont' think anyone is jealous at how "aggressive" a car is.
they dont' have more sophistication that other cars on the road either. They may have more than alot but not all.
Overall I think people get annoyed at the fact that BMW drivers think people are envious of them. The fact is that they are not that bothered but many BMW drivers think they are.
You could attribute those 4 adjectives to describe any car on the road if it's your favorite car.

LMAO!
What happens if you have a wife that points out the pretty blondes for you?!
The only time I get dirty looks is when I fly by people, expecially the cops, they don't seem to like that to much. Usually, I get the jerks that feel the need to just cut me off, or move over into my lane as they see me flying up in their rearview. I have NEVER been messed with so much on the freeway, until I got my E60. I can tell you that this is a total attention whore car...If you don't like to be looked at in a positive OR negitive way...get a minivan
